The Trump administration has been making headlines recently for their aggressive approach towards undocumented immigrants. In their search for these individuals, federal agencies are being pressured by officials from the United States DOGE Service to share personal data such as work, study, and living information.
It seems that DOGE is determined to fulfill their mission of removing undocumented immigrants from federal housing and employment. This puts a lot of pressure on agencies like the Social Security Administration, Internal Revenue Service, and Education Department, who have been asked to release personal information that is usually kept confidential.
According to a Department of Homeland Security official who spoke to The Washington Post, this is a step in the right direction. They believe that sharing information across federal agencies is crucial in solving larger issues.
Just last week, the Social Security Administration handed over a list of over 6,000 names and Social Security numbers, mostly belonging to Latino immigrants, to a database used to track deceased individuals. This means that these immigrants are now unable to receive benefits or employment status in the U.S. DOGE officials have been actively searching for information on these individuals, including their full names, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, contact details, and even bank information, in order to determine their citizenship status.
The assistant secretary for public affairs at DHS also emphasized the importance of information sharing between agencies. They believe that it not only helps identify potential threats and criminals, but also ensures that illegal immigrants are not accessing public benefits at the expense of taxpayers.
In their search for undocumented immigrants, DOGE has also turned to the Internal Revenue Service for help. They have requested tax information on nearly seven million people suspected of living in the U.S. illegally. This has caused concern among legal experts who believe that sharing personal data is a violation of privacy and goes against the rules set in place to protect citizens' trust in government programs and services.
The Department of Housing and Urban Development has also joined forces with Homeland Security to investigate if taxpayer-funded housing programs are being used by illegal aliens. With the cost of supporting immigrant households on welfare reaching $42 billion, Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem has made it clear that the government will not tolerate abuse of public benefits by those living in the country illegally.
The DOGE team, led by staffer Mike Mirski, is also working towards banning undocumented immigrants from living with U.S. citizens or other eligible family members. And at the Education Department, DOGE officials are pushing for information on potential deportees through their investigation into allegations of antisemitism at five universities.
The department's civil rights office has been asked to obtain the identities of foreign students who have participated in protests, and there are talks of potentially revoking their visas. This is all part of President Donald Trump's efforts to make the most deportations in U.S. history. He has already reopened family detention centers, transported migrants to a former prison for suspected terrorists, and even invoked a law from 1798 to target undocumented immigrants.
This has caused quite a stir in the media, with figures like Maxine Waters and Elon Musk weighing in on the issue. It's clear that DOGE's search for undocumented immigrants is causing quite the controversy, and only time will tell how this will all play out.
